The Théâtre du Loup, established in Geneva in 1978, is a dynamic independent company with a 200-seat theater in the Vernets-Acacias neighborhood. It produces around twelve performances annually, prioritizing original works, and runs a theater school for children and teenagers. Known for its creativity and dedication to both children’s and adult theater, the company also features the MUZOO, a collection that showcases its scenic creations.
An adaptation of Jusque dans nos bras, this theatrical staging follows Alice—half Kabyle, half Norman—and Mad, her childhood friend returned from Mali, as they confront hostile immigration procedures and social exclusion. The play blends narrative, direct address and collective performance: voices multiply, perspectives intersect and an ensemble becomes a space of solidarity, joy and resistance. Intimate choices become political acts, exploring identity, belonging and youthful refusal to resign.

The programme addresses racist aggression specifically, integrating theoretical context and participants’ experiences to develop collective responses.

Souvenirs is a family-friendly music and movement piece by Claire and Anthony, performed with the Geneva Camerata. Through shadow theatre, dance and live video, two performers convey memories, traces and emotions without words. The staging combines delicate choreography, cinematic imagery and chamber music to create a tender, wonder-filled atmosphere that appeals to both children and adults. Rooted in visual illusion and human connection, the work premiered at the Festival d’Avignon and has since toured international festivals.
Step into a gentle, magical world created by multidisciplinary artists Claire and Antho. This family show mixes music, shadow theatre, dance and video as two bodies tell wordless stories of traces, dreams and emotions that travel through time. Children will be carried by soft movement, evocative sound and vivid imagery, and invited to wonder, imagine and reflect together.
In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
Solstice Psychomanteon is a documentary-performative staging by Jean-Daniel Schneider and Helena Patricio that opens a poetic portal to invisible worlds. Combining song, performance and film, it transforms archival traces — letters, objects, garments, songs and contracts — into a staged device mixing video, ritual and live singing. Directed by JD Schneider and produced by Maison Suspecte, the piece investigates possession, ghosts and identity projection, inviting a porous encounter between visible and invisible realms.
